About
The character 李, identical in both its traditional and current standard forms, is composed of the semantic component 木, meaning "tree", placed above the phonetic component 子, meaning "child". Its original meaning was a specific type of plum tree or plum fruit, a definition that remains in use today. Over time, the character also became widely adopted as a common surname, a usage that derives from the name of the plum tree itself and has existed for over two millennia.
